2 cups fresh or frozen green peas

4 slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)

Start by cooking the bacon. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the bacon is crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels. Keep the rendered fat in the skillet.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Next, add the green peas to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until heated through and tender.

Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Give everything one final stir and remove from the heat.
